The visit to Indonesia will be part of her trips that will also take her to the Cook Islands, China, Timor-Leste, Brunei, and Russia starting August 30, the US embassy said on its official website here Wednesday.
"In the Cook Islands, Secretary Clinton will attend the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Post Forum Dialogue on August 31 as part of our intensive engagement and ongoing collaboration with the Pacific Islands," the US embassy said in the statement.
Her visit will emphasize the depth and breadth of American engagement across economic, people to people, strategic, environmental, and security interests.
The visit also represents a concerted effort to strengthen regional multilateral institutions, develop bilateral partnerships, and build on alliances - three core elements of U.S. strategy toward the Asia-Pacific.
She will lead the highest-level U.S. interagency delegation in the 41-year history of the Forum with senior officials from the Departments of State, Defense, and Interior.
In Beijing September 4-5, Secretary Clinton will meet with senior Chinese leaders.
Discussions are expected to cover a wide range of issues of importance in the U.S.-China relationship as part of our efforts to build a cooperative partnership, including preparations for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and other upcoming multilateral meetings and numerous bilateral, regional, and global issues.
On September 6, Secretary Clinton will be the first Secretary of State to travel to Dili, where she will emphasize U.S. support for the young democracy of Timor-Leste in her meetings with senior officials.
In Brunei, Secretary Clinton will meet with senior officials to emphasize the importance of the increasingly vibrant U.S.-Brunei relationship. She will also highlight the U.S.-Brunei ASEAN English Language initiative and discuss Brunei`s 2013 chairmanship of ASEAN.
The final stop on Secretary Clinton`s trip will be Vladivostok, where she will lead the U.S. delegation to the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting September 8-9.
The Secretary will discuss trade liberalization, food security, and green growth including initiatives to fight wildlife trafficking, with heads of state and other regional leaders, including business representatives.
